Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests and presents several possible products: a Chrome extension, a tracking service, or PR-overlap support. Start by reviewing GitHub’s pull-request-files API and the Babel example request. Done would require a decided scope and a defined way to show matching PR names, titles, and links.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Writing down some thoughts, links

curl https://api.github.com/repos/babel/babel/pulls/5061/files

  • show name/pr title/link!

Or the other way around, we make a service that tracks all prs and whenever they update it will update which files are updated.


Also could run this on PRs to show other PRs that are also changing the same files
